My grandma loved pickled eggs! I wasn't quite a fan of them but I would eat them if someone asked me to. Can't wait to see how they turn out for you!

I grew up eating pickled everything... eggs, okra, sausage, beets, cabbage, peppers, cherries, onions, carrots, green tomatoes... pig's feet...pretty much anything that can be pickled

I have my grandmother's recipe for pickled pigs feet. I am currently waiting for my pickled cauliflower to be ready to try. I made my own recipes for pickled green tomatoes, one hot and sweet and one hot dill. I now use those recipes for cucumbers instead.

I can't eat pickled chicken eggs. They're just too much. However, I've been pickling quail eggs and they're pretty awesome. Just the right size for a bite.

Whatever recipe you find. The recipe May tell you to use white vinegar. If it doesn't specify, use white vinegar. For most things I prefer apple cider vinegar. Used it to pickle my eggs. 3 days later the eggs were submerged in a Milky cloud of.... Whatever. Found out that apple cider vinegar caused this. And of course I did this with the one gallon jar. About 18 eggs. When I do a quart jar, it's not a problem. Those eggs are gone in less than 3 days.
I'm about to try a new recipe. Supposedly using red cabbage, by adding baking soda, will give the vinegar, and thus the eggs, a blue color. Since they started life as EEs, I thought that would be appropriate.

Funny that this topic came up because just this past weekend I was at Sam's looking at the pickled eggs and wondered what the process was. An elderly woman gave me a tip. She said buy pickled beets, once you've eaten the beets, add your boiled eggs and a little more vinegar

Glad I found this post on a search. I was thinking of doing this very thing, except maybe just adding the hardboiled eggs in the same container as the pickled beets before I eat the beets. That way, I could serve up a little pickled beets along with pickled eggs at the same time.

I don't even know if I like pickled eggs, but I have extra eggs and am looking for other ways to use them. Any idea of how long these pickled beets/eggs would stay good in a glass jar? Can the pickle juice be used more than once or should a person buy a new can of pickled beets for every batch? I'm a total beginner on this issue. Thanks.

The longer the eggs are left in the brine, the tougher they will get. That is fine with me but everyone has different tastes.

I grow my beets and pickle them for storage in quart jars. When I want pickled eggs, I put 6 hard boiled eggs in two quart jars, split the beets and pickling juice from one quart into the two jars with the eggs, make enough more brine (1part water, 1 part vinegar and 1 part sugar) to top off both quarts, seal and place them in the refrigerator. I try to wait a couple of days before eating the beets and the pickled eggs. On a rare occasion the eggs may last up to 2 weeks before I have finished them off.

It is best to only use the brine once in my opinion.

Thanks for the info. I made my first test batch tonight. I just used one can of pickled beets and 3 hardboiled eggs and put everything into a small glass jar. Added just enough white vinegar to cover everything to the top. Will give it a few days for the eggs to get pickled and then try it out. I like pickled beets, but have never tried pickled eggs. If it turns out good, I'll probably try a few other recipes as well.
